ive been listening to him for years now and im so happy hes getting this amount of attention, i share him w as many ppl as possible but this new album has really made his fanbase increase
the meat riding is incredible
We thank u for supporting his career all the way to his success. Thank you
Meat riding is crzy
Same too but what is really annoying is the fact the attention he got now is from people from tiktok that only know bad habit and nothing else and there are people making fun of him for things to do with it and it’s like bro come on if only you knew him way back fr 🥲
Bro how tf is this meatriding?
He is just congratulating Steve for making it this far
I love this album,
Steve Lacy dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
Honestly im disapointed i didnt hear about Steve Lacy before this album because his whole career is amazing and im so excited to see what he comes out with in the future. This album came out at such a perfect time for me and its got to already be one of my favourite albums of all time its just spectacular and as a aspiring musician has inspired me so much especially as he produced and makes a lot of his tracks most by himself.
yeah i kinda hated that alot of new fans didnt get to experience him on egodeath he is one of the most talented Musicians and Producers of this generation
@@burtdagod6272 Palace/Curse is amazing ive dived as far as i can back through his career to find everything he made to try make up for what i missed and i’m in love with his style
im sad for u
You definitely got to check out his soundcloud era. It's really tight. A bunch of short and sweet instrumentals
oh boy if you found him during dark red, that shit was to mess with for sure
i thought i was the only one who absolutely loved that guitar solo in sunshine it’s actually incredible
it really is. thats one of my fav moments on the album
That guitar solo in sunshine is fr my favorite part of the album...I haven't gotten tired of it, sunshine as a song is so timeless
sunshine is literally one of the songs I have never gotten bored of it just sounds so good
@@beblue3119 i’ve been listening to this album non stop for months and i’m not bored of it. For me there isn’t even 1 stand out song but buttons, sunshine, static, bat habit, mercury and helmet just hit so crazy good
@@rordor21 VERY TRUE
Bad habits is a great song but I prefer to hear "I give you the world" on repeat ...that song just puts me in a daze
is that a daze reference from his mixtape the lo fis
has to be
Listen to "prototype" OutKast and "take me where your heart is" by Q
Right ! Best song on the album !!
Helmet🔥🔥
I've been with Steve since I was in middle school listening to "Steve Lacy's Demos" and finding out about him through Tyler's Flowerboy album and the band The Internet. I'm happy he's finally getting the recognition he deserves, and I'm excited to see his evolution.
"And it has been a very good year for music so far"
*shows Dj Khaled's album*
Yea next video is the genius of dj khaled actually
@@mintrommovies ur kidding that album was a joke 😭😭😭
@@mintrommovies no way😭😭
😂😂😂I laughed when I saw it
GOD DID
Bad Habits is one of those songs of a generation seriously it’s like the perfect pop song
as a bi person it’s really fucking cool to see more and more mainstream artists comfortable with their sexualities
@@fiawms for me it just feels nice to see someone like you be so open abt it and like yk, proud.
@@fiawms LMFAO okay good attempt on the "im so different, social norms dont affect me" but representation matters - this has been proven a million times already. this comment just further confirms the comfort in seeing the things you feel and experience are "normal" and not things to feel shame for
@@fiawms i put normal in quotations because nothing is normal and whats "normal" is constantly changing. im bi myself, so spare me the "different sexualities are normal" speech. this has absolutely nothing to do with homophobia and everything to do with the fact that it is comforting to see people in power, in music, in anywhere being openly gay or bisexual is comforting when youre used to all those people being in straight marriages. its not about "caring what celebrities do" or "being a fan". piss off with this offensive attitude
@@inge76 lol please just shut up. You can’t talk about facts without acknowledging that no 2 people are the same and different humans have different social responses
@@lunchablespizza7035 for the last time: representation matters. this is not a matter of opinion or different social norms or anything. its a scientific fact. google is free. people pointing out the comfort in representation is not weird. no matter how secure or unaffected you for some reason think you are. goodluck on this opinion though! its all yours bud
gemini rights prob been my most listened to album this year everytime i listen to it i have a new favorite record off of it, its so addicting
Same Buttons Hit Different the more you listen🔥💯
Cody freestyle and give you the world😭🫶🫶🫶🫶
i have been listening to him for about 3-4 years and I'm disappointed that people haven't noticed him before. sure people loved dark red but he is honestly so talented and has to be one of the best music producers out here today.
That Uncut Gems clip is Golden 🤣
Saw Steve live at Coachella 2022 where he played some songs off of Gemini Rights (when it still wasn’t released) and it was absolutely magical. If you can, attend one of his shows. He is a MUSICIAN! He played guitar, bass, and sang beautifully throughout the whole set. Peace
Everyone that likes Steve Lacy, should also check out Ravyn Lenae who he has collaborated with and produced for many times (Especially Sticky, Skin Tight, 4 Leaf Clover, the whole "Crush" album basically...) - she's amazing!
yes! she’s incredible
I've been a steve lacy fan since 2017 when he released his demo. I'm seeing him in concert in a few weeks and I'm excited as a mf
me too! his Chicago show. i cannot wait, ill prolly cry
@@qeturah9791 ima be at his Baltimore show 10/13 😩 I'm happy he's doing smaller venues bcus it's gonna be hella intimate
Helmet is my favorite on the album. The rain in the background, and the instrumental along with the subject matter of the song. It really spoke to me as someone whose been there before. That feeling of losing love for someone who you just can’t love anymore but still holding on. I’ve never seen a piece of work portray that in such a realistic way.
This album is absolutely incredible. Truly a timeless masterpiece. I haven’t liked an album so much I know it from top to bottom by heart since Acid Rap (maybe A Seat at the Table too). Came out in a year with lots of other (very good) bigger name releases, but I hope as time passes Gemini Rights will be widely recognized for the work of art it truly is. Type of album that makes me wish I played & produced music myself for the sheer satisfaction of building something so perfect and sharing it with the world. Thank you Steve
I fully agree with the "critics and interviewers only caring about sexuality" thing being super weird. Unfortunately, it's just what draws the most attention :/
Videos like these make me wanna relisten to an album all over again! It’s so cool seeing people that admire Steve as much as I do. He’s so talented! Great video!
I love this album, Buttons has me in a chokehold, especially the way he starts off that third verse 🥹
Steve Lacy is great and hope his successes go even further.I can't believe he produced albums while he was a teenager is impressive.
Sure he wasn't the only person doing it before adulthood but that shows he has built experience with his craft.Also it annoys me once artists like him or Tyler the Creator come out,media press them on their sexuality in their music more than anything else.
Steve is the kind of success story that encourages me as a underground artist with a small following. Seeing how he’s developed his skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity he’s been giving has been inspirational! Mans has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. Dude is too nice! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, I’m happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to Steve Lacy🔥
He is such an amazing artist and this video was brilliant thank you
I’ve been following Steve’s career since December 2016. I’m so proud of him. He makes such good music and he’s super sweet.
what you said about it having many textures and sounding like its from a 70's r&b album is the most factual thing ive ever heard. the most accurate summary of it ive ever heard.
your going crazy with the quality in these videos my man. great work 🤝
Thanks dude more otw
I’ve heard one of his song before but I never tried to know more of him, until this year, I heard more songs and definitely he is now one of my favorite artists
Just heard Steve on SNL...I love his music. It has a 70s bluesy feel.
I have been a fan of Steve Lacy since 2017 and he has come a long way. I hate that his genius isn't truly recognized by new fans. All his albums have been amazing but this one is the ONE. I hope that he gets the recognition he deserves and not just fake fans who just recognize him for Bad Habit and the tik tok craze.
He is so so talented I'm so happy he came back when he did with this amazing project I loved him in the internet so happy him and Syd are doing amazing and other members
This video is extremely well done! Keep producing content this was awesome and made me think more things about steve lacy!
It’s crazy how I’ve listened to Steve for years and he’s just now getting hype
That’s crazy
LITERALLY LIKE HOW DID PEOPLE NOT KNOW HOW GOOD HE IS
I lowkey want him to myself still but highkey want him to win. Glad he's getting his flowers finally
Damn, no one cares🥱
I’ve had give u the world on repeat for months like it’s so good
encountered Bad Habit early July and I became obsessed, 'cause I'd just found out this girl I liked also liked me back but we ended up with different people. I was taking it at face value obviously. but then I heard to Static, that's when I became a fan. Like I listen to his full catalogue on Spotify at least once every week. It's not healthy.
\\
He made a classic for sure!
Yeah, you convinced me. Listening to it now. Only on the second song and I feel this album already. Love it, thanks!
He’s one of my inspirations. Steve is so dope and inspiring.
This is a really well written video.good work:)
i know Steve Lacy since forever and he s always been on top of the game. I also feel sad cuz tik tok did its thing, but now he gets the recognition he deserves.
dropping bangers consistently
It’s so great seeing such a talented musician these days. One of my favorite quotes I say is “it’s great seeing a musician that is actually a musician”
I have to say that I dismissed this album on upon my first listen. But following your video I went back to it and loved it! Thank you for the background on this artist and the album. Well done 👏🏾
I appreciate your love for music.
Definitely. going to listen to this album tonight because of you. im excited to hear sunshine.
I am honestly so glad I found this video. The whole album is just so good. I love your take on it. And I couldn’t agree more with the things you say about each song lolol 😭 You literally have each thoughts I got. The groove of helmet, the “fucking yourself” line on static, the guitar solo at the end of sunshine 😩 And omg the influences of give you the world. I listened to that one nonstop because of the feel of it. 😌 Helmet ong my favorite track tho. Idk, it just always has me in the mood for it. But anyway shout out to you for making this vid. Loved it.
Thanks dude yeah there's just so many great moments on it
Another rising artist to watch out for.

such a great video, man
Can we expect a video about My Dear Melancholy and Trilogy by The Weeknd?
I’m so glad you made a video about steve lacy. it’s great to see bad habit blowing up as it will bring more people to this album
6:54 I *literally* said the same thing, omg. That song is the Al Green oldie for me
found out about steve lacy through flowerboy and honestly love his stuff its so good
I love Steve lacy!! Also you should do a video on Denzel Curry, his recent album is my personal fav this year and he is so amazing.
This is the video i never knew i wanted to watch
Great great analysis
you explained it so WELLL
"Pride is the best song on damn" Duckworth, XXX, Element, Fear, Feel, all miles better than Pride.
nah
@@treboleekem499 ya.
Nah
dont forget DNA
I'm saying😭😭
Am I the only one that hears the cadence of Keith Sweat's Twisted cadence within Steve Lacy's Bad Habits?
amazing breakdown!
alright I'm sold
Literally this whole album breakdown reminds me of Igor and it’s almost like he took tips from Tyler or something
0:17 bro tried to sneak in god did
You should make a vid on billy woods Aethiopes if you really dissect that album, shits got so many double entendres and references so much history that I never learned about in school. Amazing album my personal favorite of the year.
Gemini rights is the best album so far. Even above kendricks.
I think my favourite song from him would be Mercury, there's something about it I can't put into words
I kinda made up my mind about him before hearing things about his true talent and artistry that I wish I would’ve heard sooner. I simply thought that because he was big on tiktok, that he only had one good song or part of a song. This video really changed my opinion about him.
I have this bad habbit of waiting for my favourite artists to drop something and then not having the energy to listen to it.
You explain a album and songs so much better than these actual critics .
i swear bad habit had like 152 million streams yesterday now it got 185 million lol
you've convinced me to give the album a go.
this was recommended to me the same day he bagged a #1 for bad habit!! niceeee
I'm so glad that gemini rights blew up so much.
Goat
"Ego Death" was The Internet's 3rd album
Thank you for clarifying this. I was about to 😄 It was Steve’s first album playing with them.
Fire take! Great album
Great vid bro!! How do you guys even know the reason behind the lyrics and the purpose of the song
Static is my favorite song bruh I have no clue why it’s so good
gemini rights and renaissance by beyonce are my two favorite albums of the year. have u listened to renaissance yet? i would love for you to do a deep dive on it!
Yea I listened to it when it came out but I’ll have to revisit
Him and Brent Faiyaz have two of the best albums of the year hands down
I laughed when I saw a Dj Khaled album being associated with a good year for music
he is so inspiring and now im in love😍😍🥰
candy grapes by foushee and steve lacy is also insane
I’m glad you like sunshine as much as I do
how did anyone think gemini rights was a coming out album? it’s clearly about break ups apollo xxi was his “coming out” album
INLY not mentioned in best of this yr?
Pausing the video to go listen to the album again lmao
that ending 🤣
Would you be able to one of these videos essays on Jean Dawson?
1.The forever story
2.Mr. Morale & Big steppers
3.GeminiRights
My second fav album this year
Second to what?
@Acren Studios ok... guess that's fair
He been killing it for years, just great music.
I love steve lacy
FUCK THANK YOU SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGES SUNSHINE IT'S SO GOOD IT'S AMAZING LIKE OMG
started dying at the end
The majority of Steve’s genius comes from his music production- if you were to analyse his guitar chords, they’re incredibly complex. I’d love to see a video sometime that actually delves into this
Lol. There’s nothing complex about repeating the same few chords and practically never modulating to another key, but go off.
@@llsnickers2372 literally lmao
@@llsnickers2372 They can be repetitive but there are certainly are some stand out moments. I particularly like the chord progression on the second half of bad habit, especially how he used that flat 6. Not the fanciest thing ever but better than just four chords that switch every bar.
I just learned that he was still a teenager when The Internet released Ego Death… ironic..
Been a fan since his part on 911 by Tyler The Creator. Knew he'd be huge
FINALLY SOME RECOGNITION
forever story solos but its still a great album hoping to listen to more
He was also on jcole album for your eyez only
Oh yeah folding clothes totally forgot
